Football and the Decline of Britain
ISBN: 9780333422779 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 139 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In the wake of the Bradford and Brussels football disasters in 1985, football in England was subjected to detailed scrutiny and criticism. Critics - of all sorts and persuasions - saw in those terrible events, especially the Brussels riot, evidence of the broader problems afflicting British (not merely English) life. Football, which had once represented so much of what was once considered good - fair- play, team play and sportsmanship - was now discussed as a major national problem. To most critics, at home and abroad, football came to represent a nation in decline, characterised by organised...

Slavery: The history and legacy of one of the world's most brutal institutions
ISBN: 9781911187844 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Western slavery goes back 10,000 years to Mesopotamia, today's Iraq, where a male slave was worth an orchard of date palms. Female slaves were called on for sexual services, gaining freedom only when their masters died. This book traces slavery from classical times to the present. It shows how the enforced movement of more than 12 million Africans on to the Atlantic slave ships, and the scattering of more 11 million survivors across the colonies of the Americas between the late 16th and early 19th centuries, transformed the face of the Americas. Though they were not its pioneers, it was the...

Making the Black Atlantic: Britain and the African Diaspora
ISBN: 9781474292894 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The British role in the shaping of the African diaspora was central: the British carried more Africans across the Atlantic than any other nation and their colonial settlements in the Caribbean and North America absorbed vast numbers of Africans. The crops produced by those slaves helped to lay the foundations for Western material well-being, and their associated cultural habits helped to shape key areas of Western sociability that survive to this day. Britain was also central in the drive to end slavery, in her own possessions and elsewhere in the world. Making the Black Atlantic...
